This is such a cool place. I just got coffee and a donut and both were delicious, I think the Donuts were Do-Rite which makes great donuts. They had alot of other things I wanted to try so I will be back. Its really cute inside, the service was really fast and also very nice. Get there early if you want to sit inside, I went Monday at 10a and it was packed.

So I had the Lavender matcha drink and it tasted really nice. The place is cozy and had a good amount of snack options too. Overall a good place to hangout and chill.

I would wait in that line out the door everyday if I lived here. The staff was warm, the pastries were fresh and duper good, and that latte is the best one I’ve had since visiting New Zealand two years ago. 👏👏 Pro Parent Tip: There’s a great park across the street - one parent stands in line with the order, the other goes and hangs with the kids at the park. 👌

Backlot Coffee, both locations are consistently good on drip and espresso drinks. They roast locally and do a fine job too. Their baked goods could/should be seated into the excellent category and are offered in grand variety. Since I'm not much of a bread/baked goods eater we'll have to ask my teenaged son who offers 2 thumbs up and a hearty "Mmmfff Gobble Munch". Nice array of teas are also available hot or iced. Good management shines through.

This place serves fantastic coffee, treats and meals. I also am convinced that John is one of the funniest people I've ever met and needs to do open-mic stand-up sometime there as an event night. Make it happen, Backlot, the place will be packed! 😎🙌🏻👍🏻😆☕

Flying Squirrel beans are the best coffee you can grind at home. They're not even the tastiest that Backlot roasts, tbh, but they're the best for all coffee drinking occasions, which for me is pretty much all day every day. Tabletop is their tastiest, but it doesn't go with everything like Flying Squirrel does.

I honestly don't understand how this place is so good. Its not just the coffee. The donuts, pastries, empanadas, and sandwiches are also amazing. I really have to see their kitchen/chef/baker at some point because its too good to be true.
